3) Size:

For those thinking about getting the whole set of books, a very rough estimate suggests that it may take 15 DVD’s, give or take 1, to get them all on. That would cost $52.50, plus $3.00 shipping. We thought you might like to know….

edited three days later:

We finally managed to figure things out, and load all the available books onto DVD’s. Somehow they all fit onto 11; we are unsure of how or why, since it should have taken at least 12, but there it is.

So, the total cost for all the currently available information will be (11 x $3.50 + $3.00) = $41.50. Those who have already paid, based on earlier guesstimates, will be refunded the overage.

And we should reassure you: you do not have to order all 11 disks. We are quite happy to run off copies of just one or two books, as you wish.

In addition to the used books for sale through the online catalog, we also offer the following magazines (calligraphic, typographical, biblioartistic, and generally book- or writing-related). Please contact us at the usual address (owner@potboilerpress.com) if you would like to buy any or all of them.
